Wife, mother, dog owner, shoe lover, bourbon drinker, former indoor kitty, color and trend designer for the outdoor industry, and a shopaholic. I grew up hiking with my family, but as an adult, gave up the outdoors for awhile. Rediscovered the beauty and healing qualities of being in nature within the last 5 years and have not looked back. I love the Pacific Northwest and sharing it with friends, family, and loved ones.
